What are Dimout curtains?
Think of a Dimout as a traditional curtain: a single, substantial fabric that hangs beautifully on its own. They sit between sheer and blockout fabrics, with the body and texture to soften daylight and reduce glare; no lining needed. Choose a lighter weave for an ambient glow, or a denser fabric to block out most of the light.

Frequently asked questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a Dimout curtain? | A single layer, unlined curtain made from a fabric with enough body to control light on its own. It sits between a sheer, which filters light, and a blockout, which blocks it entirely. |
| How much light does a Dimout curtain block? | It depends on the fabric. Lighter weaves let a soft glow through, denser fabrics block most of the light. Order free samples to compare in your own space. |
| Do I need a separate lining? | No. Dimouts are made to stand alone. For extra darkness or daytime privacy, add a blockout lining or pair one with a sheer. |
| Which rooms suit Dimout curtains? | Almost any. They are a favourite for living rooms, bedrooms, home theatres, home offices and as room dividers, anywhere you want soft light, warmth and privacy. |
| Are Dimout curtains good for bedrooms? | Yes, when you want softer light rather than total darkness. For full darkness, add a lining or choose a blockout. |
| What textures and colours are available? | Soft woven plains, linen looks and plush velvets, in a broad palette from neutrals to bolder shades. They drape exceptionally well thanks to their heavier hand. |
| Can I motorise my Dimout curtains? | Yes. Every Dimout can be motorised with Somfy and controlled by remote or connect to your phone with the Bondbridge Hub. |
| Should I order a sample prior to purchasing? | We recommend it. Colour, light and texture look different at home, and samples are free. |
